As we could "drag" these together, we could then do it the easy way.
56
+56
+56
-------
168

Or we could also do the following:
56
3:
6
3= 18.
Carry the one.
5
3 = 15+1 (which was carried). = 16
(16+8) =

Answer:
334 in^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area = area of the top prism + area of the bottom - 2 * area of the base of the top smaller prism
= 2(5*3 + 5*3 + 3*3) + 2(9*7 + 9*5 + 7*5) - 2* 3*5
= 2* 39 + 2*143 - 30
= 334
